This is great! I am going to try this for my CSM, maybe paint it black with red highlights. It would be awesome for Slaanesh, but I have Khorne, I think it will still work though.

Wow, just... Wow. That's amazing for the amount of work it takes and the materials required, simply epic. So glad I haven't based my Zoey yet, because if I had I would have to rip it right back off again. I am now getting off my computer, going over to my workstation and getting busy, it's got me that fired up.

Great job, makes me wish I played Tyranids.
haha yeah it is pretty rude, but it really wasnt meant that way lol
also it does kinda add to the humour side of 40klol,
this method would also work really well for wounds and such for any army,
just use smaller amounts of glue (obv) lol

aww cheers im glad you like the idea man!, when you do get back doing your nids, id love to see some photos of them once they are finished (with this style of Base )
Snrub wrote:Dude this is a nifty method of getting a groovy effect. How did you find this?
i was looking on youtube, and someone was doing a very similar technique, not quite the same, but deffo similar, so i took his idea and made it my own in a sense,
started adding scenery into the bases so that they were abit more 3D,
and once i have my full army painted, all my models will have this technique on their bases =] =] and i cannot wait for that day to happen!, (also that will be a very pic heavy day for this thread lol)
Hey, as promised, I got my Elmers, Loctite, and base together, and the evil-experiment is drying right now. I'll be posting a few pictures soon as I get a finished product, w/ and w/o the Lictor (and a change in lighting I think you'll find wicked cool)
Automatically Appended Next Post: Here goes:
Base w/o Lictor: As you can see, it's still a tad wet from the Badab Black. Was a bit excited for my results, can ya blame me?
Base w/ Lictor: Looks a hell of a lot better in person. Again, please excuse my photo quality. All I have is my phone (1.3 mp)
UV Lighting:
Spoiler:
Any tips on shooting photos in ultraviolet lighting? Had to photoshop these to get them somewhat clear. Found the darkest background I could find for my "photo-shoot."
Base w/o Lictor:

Why is it that only those who have never fought in a battle are so eager to be in one?

looking superb!, did you paint it aswell as washing it yeah?, its looks fantastic!, now for the rest of the army?
well thats saying you like the outcome?, lol
you have done a great job with it though! =] =]
and nah i dont blame you for being excited lmao,
thats what i was like when i fisrt did mine, couldnt wait for the darn things to dry and mount the models ...lol
Yeah.
Primed rust-red with krylon, followed by white drybrushing to pop up the blaze orange a bit.
The deep sections were done with fluorescent blue straight onto the rust (thats why it's only visible under UV).
Following both of those colors was a big wash of Badab Black to tone it all down a bit.
I might amp it up again a touch with a real light drybrushing of blaze orange, but we'll see.
I love how it's so ridiculously obnoxious under UV, but so subtle in normal lighting. Pictures do no justice. Thanks again for this tut dude, it's wicked, and my whole army's gonna be getting it.

I have to ask, what did you use for the pod itself? Looks like canvas to me.
Cheers mate! =] =]
the pod itself is actually an old rugby ball (small), cut in half, lol, ill be making a 2nd one soon with the other half of the ball!,
ill make a separate thread with a tutorial... i meant to do that this time, but forgot to take photos of the other stages lmao
I intend to use them on the rhinos as burst boils or something.
You think this could work as craters for raptors and assault marine who have just landed.

ahh nice, yeah i reckon it could work if you do it right!
for craters, i would add a very small amount of pink foam to the sides and then do this affect round about it so it looks like the rocks! =] =]
just an idea (probably not very good, but im just bout to go to bed so my mind isnt quite awake yet ...lmao! =P
On the Ice World of Fenris....running with the wolves...
I loved the idea when you posted it, but never got around to trying it, I have done one base and am happy with the result. Would it be ok to post a pic of the outcome?

Might not be for several months though!
Im awsome...
